NEW HOTCHKlSS GUNS,
Secretary whitney Places an Order for
the New Navy Ordinance.

the New Navy OrdnSnce.
Secretary Whitney has issued the following
statement: "The department has finally
closed contract with the Hotchkiss Ord
nance Company A branch of their manu-
factory will be established in this country.
Our secondary batteries have heretofore been
made abroad. 1t marks another most i'm
portant era in the construction of the navy
Mr.. HotchkisS was an American, and when
he died in 1884 every important European
nation had mandatory of Hotchkiss ord
nance. England, France, Germany, Russia
and Italy each had one. By delaying the
giving out of orders we have accumulated a
large contract, and the Investigations made
by the representatives of the company have
elected the fact that with the superiority Of
machinery in use in this country the prices
can be made the same for the arms made here
as made abroad We either had to prepare
to manufacture ourselves or get them to come
here. We cannot be dependent on another
country for our war materials. The ma
chine guns have become an indispensable
branch of national armament. To illustrate
their effectiveness, the six-pounder Hothkiss
rapid fire gun is controlled by one man,
aimed from the shoulder, and will discharge
% six-pound shells per minute with a aTelocity
that will penetrate two inches of steel plate
at a thousand yards. They are especially
necessary against torpedo boats and un,
armored ships and to clear the exposed decks
of ironclads The company is now develop
ing a nine FOUNDER and experimenting with
33-pounder. With the Bethlehem Iron Com
pany contract and this one executed Ameri.
can ship builders will be able to build and
arm war ships entirely from American
manufactures.
Secretary Whitney has also caused to be
cta
ing the history of the H0tchkiss guns and the
work done by the late Mr.. B. b. Hotchkiss.

Sixty million pounds of prunes were
imported into the United States last
year, but California is growing this crop
more largely every year, and it is only a
matter of time when the foreign product
will be run out of our markets by home
made products. The California pruncs
are said to be superior to the foreign
and sell at better prices.

The development of coal and natural
gas in far-off localities is giving an i'm
pulse to numberless little industries
hitherto dependent on distant fuel.
Natural gas is found in Dakota and
Texas, and they are after it in Colorado.
Natural gas is plenty in Utah, and much
money is being diverted to its utiliza-
ton. A sixty-mile pipe-mile is to be
laid from the Indiana field to Chicago,
and this enterprise has stimulated manu-
facturers of artificial fuel to furnish fuel
gas as cheap as natural gas for manu-.
featuring purposes.

A PLAIN PROPOSITION.

The schoolhouse has been built and
completed by direction of the Trus
tees, and must be paid for. If the
tax Is voted down the house cannot
be paid for. The contractor will
therefore have to sue for his pay, for
interest on money due, and for dam
ages. The taxpayers will have to de-
fend the suit, pay all costs, finally pay
the debt, and maybe as much more
for damages. Is it not better to pay
now, without waiting for costs !?

The Crown Princess is not
popular in Germany, says a correspond.
ent. The reasons of that unpopularity
are upon the surface. She has been
the patron of reputedly free thinking
clergymen, and popular gossip has &C
cused her of being complete free
thinker. THIS makes her very unpop-
ular in some quarters. She has often
turned German prejudices into ridi-
Guile, aud this makes her still more un-
popular In others. She is very clever,
a quality which in court makes princes
unpopular with fools. She is some.
